Youth Mental Health in New Hampshire: Challenges and Statistics
Youth mental health in New Hampshire is a growing concern, with many reporting persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and depression. The New Hampshire Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that in 2023, 40% of high school students felt sad or hopeless for at least two weeks.
Suicide risk is also rising, with about 25% of students seriously considering suicide and nearly 10% attempting it in the past year. LGBTQ+ youth are especially vulnerable, highlighting the importance of accessible and affirming mental health care in New Hampshire.
Moreover, according to the CDC, 36% of New Hampshire students report poor mental health. This figure is significantly high compared to the national average of 29%. With limited access to mental health resources in NH, these statistics show why improving access to psychiatric care across New Hampshire is critical for protecting our youth’s well-being.
Why Virtual Psychiatry Matters in NH
Virtual psychiatry means secure video or phone sessions with our board-certified licensed providers like Carol Milliken. There are limited providers in counties like Coös, Carroll, and Grafton, but virtual care helps New Hampshirites avoid long commutes and scheduling challenges, especially in a state made up of mostly rural areas.
Key benefits include:
Flexible scheduling around work or family needs
No travel time or cost, ideal for rural residents
Greater privacy and comfort when meeting from home
In addition to psychotherapy, many people also benefit from medication as part of their treatment plan. Mae Mental Wellness makes this accessible through our virtual psychiatry services.
Why is Medication Management Important?
Medication may be an important part of treatment for mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, or ADHD. Mae Mental Wellness providers take time to assess symptoms, set goals, and adjust prescriptions safely, which are often covered by insurance or Medicaid.
